🧠Lecture: "A Crash Course in Color: Pigment, Perception, Power"
🎙️ Speaker: Candice "Mars" Williamson
Join us for a vivid 45-minute crash course as colorist and workflow specialist Candice "Mars" Williamson unpacks how color quietly rules your world. We’ll trace color’s journey from ancient pigments to modern branding, explore the science of how your eyes deceive you, and reveal how color has been used to signal power, tell stories, and shape culture.
Mars is a U.S.-based colorist and post-workflow specialist born in Brooklyn, NY. A self-described Xennial raised on television, she studied Cinema and Communications at Northeastern University and honed her craft in New York and Los Angeles post houses before a turn to color grading transformed her career.
She has graded shorts, features, and music videos for artists including Tegan & Sara, Peaches, FKJ, and Bebe Huxley, developed an Intro to Color Grading curriculum for Loyola Marymount University, and worked as a Colorist and QA Engineer at Blackmagic Design. Now at Secret Weapons Studio in Los Angeles, she continues to collaborate with clients worldwide.
